The operation to control the Lieyan Sect went very smoothly. After the initiation of the secret book in Liu Yu's hand, the attitude of the top brass of the Lieyan Sect towards Liu Yu changed from hatred to kindness and loyalty. In the future, if anyone wants to split up the Lieyan Sect,
If you attack the Ming Dynasty, you are bound to be in trouble.
As for the Lieyan Sect, it has basically been split up by Liu Yuche. In addition to some masters who were sent to the Jinyi Guards, nearly a thousand innate masters were sent to the imperial guards to defend the palace. The remaining
The ordinary disciples under me are also people with outstanding qualifications. Although they are not very powerful now, they are good reserve resources and can be cultivated slowly.
Most of the secret books and magic weapons of the Lieyan Sect were moved to the capital by Liu Yu and used as backup resources for cultivating talents. After dealing with the Lieyan Sect and calming down the possibility of civil strife, Liu Yu turned his attention to diplomacy.
It had been a few days since the envoys of the State of Yan arrived, but Liu Yu had been keeping quiet, just sending ministers to talk to the envoys of the State of Yan. The envoys of the State of Yan wanted to stabilize the Ming Dynasty, and if some talks failed, they would talk to the ministers of the Ming State.
They chatted one after another. It is said that this is a very impolite behavior. If it is serious, it is very likely to cause a war between the two countries. However, Yan Guo obviously has no such possibility, and he has been beaten by Liu Yu long ago and cannot get up.
What Yan wanted to do was to stabilize the Ming Kingdom first, but what Liu Yu wanted to do was to delay time and cover up the movement of the army. To completely occupy Yan, he needed the support of the local people in Yan. However, Liu Yu had already served for Yan.
The generals who have surrendered have prepared the secret book produced by the system. With it, no matter whether they surrender sincerely or not, they cannot change their camp anyway.
In the past two days, in addition to integrating the forces of the Lieyan Sect, Liu Yu sent the innate skill secrets he had just obtained to various armies to improve the strength and foundation of the army. In addition, he secretly dispatched Xu Rong to lead the army.
Heading to Northern Xinjiang, Liu Yu heard that Liu Yu was thinking of annexing the Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop.
When he attacked the Lieyan Sect, he didn't know the details of the Lieyan Sect. Liu Yu was cautious and went to attack with great force, fearing that his little bit of family wealth would be lost. Unexpectedly, the Lieyan Sect won in one battle, and Xu Rong alone was defeated.
The Lieyan Sect surrendered without a fight. Liu Yu really ignored that this was the mainland of China, a place where the strong were respected. A strong person in the extraordinary stage was enough to destroy the foundation of the entire third-level sect.
After this battle, Liu Yu gradually became more courageous, and he also discussed the current strength comparison with several elders of the Lieyan Sect. With the current strength of the Ming Kingdom, annexing a Yan Kingdom was actually beyond imagination.
It was so complicated. In the end, Liu Yu's courage was completely released, and he cut through the mess quickly and annexed the Yan Kingdom in the north in one fell swoop.
If possible, Liu Yuke would like to get involved in Weiguo in the west, Yangguo in the east, and Chengguo in the south. Liu Yu wants to elevate the country to a dynasty, but if the land area is not enough, he does not have the qualifications.
The rise of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably attract the attention of the Daling Dynasty. Liu Yu wants to expand the land area and enhance his strength as soon as possible before the Daling Dynasty can react. Otherwise, once the Daling Dynasty intervenes, then if Liu Yu
If you want to expand, it won't be that easy.
At this time, the envoy of the State of Yan did not know that Liu Yu was already paying attention to the State of Yan. He was now trying to find a way to see Liu Yu. He had been talking with the ministers of the Ming State for such a long time, focusing on the compensation of the State of Yan, the cession of territory, etc.
, conduct a series of consultations.
It didn't take long for the Yan State envoy to realize that he seemed to be being led by the nose. Moreover, as the negotiation progressed, he paid more and more. Now the Yan State envoy saw the Ming State faction
The ministers who came were all trembling. The kings and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all the same thieves.
Of course, the envoys of Yan State have not been idle these days. When they have nothing to do, they gather with envoys from Wei State, Cheng State and other countries to chat and drink tea. Secretly, they have reached a secret agreement to target the increasingly powerful and ambitious
The Ming Dynasty formulated an offensive and defensive treaty. If one side is in trouble, all four parties will support it. The Ming Dynasty must not be allowed to step on their heads, occupy their land and grow stronger.
Finally, the envoys of the State of Yan secretly heard that Emperor Liu Yu of the Ming State was secretly mobilizing troops. These troops were going to northern Xinjiang, most likely to target the State of Yan. Naturally, the envoys of the State of Yan could not sit still and wait for death, as if they were looking for Ming Dynasty
The country should be honest about the pros and cons. Follow the example of the sages and rely on your own sharp tongue to persuade the Ming Dynasty not to act rashly and send troops at will.
The idea was very good, but the envoys of the Yan State could not find Liu Yu, and they did not see him at all. It was difficult to ask for gifts to meet Liu Yu. Now the three major Ming Dynasty families, two were disabled and one was disabled, and they did not give out gifts. Other aristocratic families
Everyone is in danger, and it is hard to find anyone who has nothing to do. I haven't seen that the emperor has even restricted his uncle's home.
The atmosphere in the capital was getting more and more wrong. The Ming Dynasty mobilized its troops too fast, and a group was transferred away every now and then. Under such circumstances, not only the envoys of the Yan State were a little uneasy, but also the envoys of other countries.
Feeling in danger.
Leave? Liu Yu had already learned about their agreement through the Jin Yiwei. What if he left and caused trouble for the Ming army? It couldn't be that easy. Liu Yu made a quick decision and detained the attempt. Before Yan Guo captured it, at least
They cannot be allowed to communicate with their own country.
"Commander, your Majesty's secret order!" In the northern Xinjiang military tent, Xu Rong immediately took the secret document handed to him and looked at it carefully.
Xu Rong took the note and frowned for a long time, which puzzled the generals around him. "Commander, does your Majesty have any instructions?"
"Your Majesty has ordered us to capture Yan State as soon as possible!"
"Oh!" This order did not surprise anyone. Since Liu Yu transported a large number of forbidden troops to northern Xinjiang, everyone knew Liu Yu's strategic intentions. What's more, everyone also knew that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to develop, it must
Expansion has become inevitable.
After slowing down, Xu Rong said, "Let the army rest as soon as possible, and the whole army will set off tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Just when the envoys of the State of Yan were looking for Liu Yu to meet, the Ming State's army in northern Xinjiang jumped out from Qingfeng Pass. The State of Yan had no chance to respond. In less than three days, Qingfeng County, which borders the Ming State,
It declared its fall.
In the past, the Yan State invaded the Ming State and wiped out 600,000 troops, which was one-third of the Yan army. They were completely crippled in the Ming State, and only 10,000 people could come back. The Yan State's vitality was seriously damaged.
.Now in order to defend against the Ming Dynasty, the Yan Kingdom gathered together another 200,000 troops.
Some time ago, the Ming Kingdom broke up with the Lieyan Sect, allowing the Yan Kingdom to see an opportunity. The emperor of the Yan Kingdom was also not someone to be trifled with. After thinking about it, he mobilized 100,000 elite princes here, ready to pounce on them at any time.
A mouthful of Ming Dynasty.
Now, under the banner of revenge, the Ming Kingdom went to war without declaring it. A total of 300,000 troops located on the border of Ming Yan were almost completely wiped out by surprise. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was surprisingly strong.
Unexpectedly, the 300,000 Yan army did not even have time to react, and the head coach of the Yan army even had his head taken away before the war started.
The Ming army's attack made the Yan State unable to fight back, and it was beaten back steadily. Due to the battle with the Ming army a few days ago, the garrison in many places was almost mobilized, and it was impossible to form an effective defense.
.As a result, the Ming army's attack was unexpectedly smooth. They were almost marching in a hurry, and in many places they surrendered without a fight.
As soon as they learned about the Ming army's attack, the Yan State quickly received the news. Emperor Murong Zhao of the State of Yan was even furious. He was so frightened that the eunuchs and maids behind him were trembling. They were afraid that the emperor would kill them all when he was angry.
Split.
The Yan State court was quarreling over the dispatch of troops. It was already too late to mobilize troops from other places. The 300,000 troops in the north and the 200,000 troops defending Yang State in the east were too far away.
It cannot be mobilized in a short time.
The army closest to here is the 200,000 troops from the southwest to defend the country. But if the troops here are mobilized, it is inevitable that the army will not take advantage of the situation. In the end, the Emperor of Yan gritted his teeth and mobilized 150,000 troops from the southwest.
Only 50,000 troops were left in the army. All the 200,000 Imperial Guards left in Kyoto were sent out, and the 100,000 Imperial Guards were stationed in the capital. The remaining 50,000 were stationed in the capital, and the rest were also sent out.
At the same time, he asked the Black Flame Sect for help. The Yan Kingdom had reached a point of life and death, and the Black Flame Sect could not just watch. This time, if the Ming Kingdom's attack could not be stopped, the Yan Kingdom would be completely doomed.
